उत्तर

Neither do they give out maximum oxygen, nor do they take in minimum carbon dioxide.

Explanation:

Equatorial rainforests are called the “lungs of the world” because their vast, dense vegetation absorbs large amounts of carbon dioxide and releases oxygen through photosynthesis, so they function like a giant biological machine regulating atmospheric gases.
